Happy Pregnancy!

 Baby Volk will be here in just 9 more weeks! 

I hope you can read this little quote I received at church several months ago. Included beside it is a pic of our baby at 12 weeks. 
Some days the phrase “happy pregnancy” seems like an oxymoron to me, but overall, the last 7 months really have been a happy time and Aaron and I are oh-so-excited to join the parent club in a few short months. As I hear what other women go through during pregnancy, I feel extremely blessed that I haven’t had it too rough and that I’m able to continue working.

Aaron asked a few weeks ago what I enjoy most about being pregnant. I thought about it for a few seconds and then replied that my favorite part has been feeling our little guy move around throughout the day. It’s like he’s having a little dance party inside and everyone knows how much I love dance parties! It’s fun to feel our baby stretching and punching and participating in karate-type activities during the day and evening. (Truth is, I'm so exhausted each night that I sleep right through the baby movements during the night.)

And, is it true that babies inside the womb can recognize voices? Our little guy sure gets excited to hear Aaron's voice when he's around. He goes crazy!

Here's a pic from a few weeks ago - 28 weeks.
Here's a pic from Sunday - 31 weeks. 
Everything seems to be coming together smoothly and April will be here before we know it!

I hope your Valentine's Day was filled with love!
